I guess you should get Posy to give the proper go ahead but what me and a few people did last year was post the pic of the tree and then under that have some other decorations.

I guess you'll need Posy to though for sure though! :pac:

Yes; what Alan said- decorations permissible (in moderation) when we've seen your tree!

Disappointing you can't see all the lights, the "expert" decoration by the kids is obvious though.

We usually get A big real tree, but this year we decided to try one of the fake ones from Argos. It's much smaller than I'm used to but I think it looks quite well considering the price!

Putting the tree up really is the best.

It doesn't look like it in the photos, but the room is really cosy and Christmassy. It's just not possible to capture it all in a photo! Our mantelpiece lights aren't working at the moment so it will have to do as it is for the moment.

Are you planning on surviving this Christmas?!

Here is my apartment tree. Much more subdued than my mother's!
